Business leaders are catching on to the importance of customer experience management (CXM); in fact, 91% of organizations surveyed said they aspire to be among the customer experience leaders in their industry. At the same time, many seem stuck in the aspirational phase – only 37% have started any kind of formal CXM initiative.

And the truth is, we get it. Committing to building and executing a comprehensive customer experience management strategy is an enormous undertaking for large enterprise organizations. It requires dismantling organizational silos that tend to run deep, training existing staff, hiring new staff, and implementing a holistic technology infrastructure to manage brand interactions with customers.

But business and marketing experts across the board agree: customer experience management is the future of business.

We decided to put together a list of our favorite quotes on CXM – the ones that inspire us to think differently about marketing and building lifelong relationships with customers.

These quotes come from the thought leaders and visionaries who eat, drink, and sleep CXM. We hope you learn as much from them as we have… and internalize their words!
